Cultured meat, i.e. meat from animal cells grown in the laboratory, is considered a promising alternative to conventional meat production. But until now, high costs, scaling problems and the requirement to realistically replicate the texture of meat have stood in the way of a broad market launch. This is where the FORMeat team from RWTH Aachen University comes in with a patented process. With the help of fiber spinning technology, the researchers produce fine, thread-like structures from animal stem cells that imitate the tissue of muscle cells.
